Lector Notes

Lectors Notes

Being called to proclaim the Word of God is a most beautiful ministry. It offers the minister an opportunity for discovering in a deeper way God's on-going dialogue with his children. It is a dialogue born out of a greater dialogue that perpetually and dynamically exists between the Father and his Son in the Trinity. To be able to stand before God's children and to proclaim what he has given us from centeries old, is a most profound experinece; one that should be received with honor and diligence.

Gentle Reminders to all lectors:

In order to be a good Lector one must be committed to a way of life that reflects the Gospel. This life can be summed up in the following:

Greater personal time committed to prayer, so as to enjoy a personal dialoge with God.

Preparation for proclaiming the Word by reading and reflecting on the upcoming passages.

Taking care not to deminish the importance of the ministry by arriving to Mass just before the hour, or worse, late.

Remembering to secure a substitute well enough in advance that he or she will have time to spiritually prepare for sharing the Word of God.
